Three time champion – Serena Williams put in a brilliant display at the Arthur Ashe today recording a double bagel scoreline to end Andrea Hlavackova's dream run in the US Open. The 2011 runner up fired 8 aces and 31 winners in the match.
The Bulgarian seemed overwhelmed by the occasion early on in the match which allowed the American to take full advantage as Serena broke Hlavackova thrice in the set and held on to her serve to close 0out the set in just 22 minutes. The former champion showed no mercy and capitalized on every chance she got. The younger Williams sister struck 12 winners on her way to victory.

The second set was more of the same as the American continued the onslaught on the Bulgarian. She once again was able to break serve three times and hold on to her own serve. There was a little more fight from the Bulgarian this tiem but nothing to show on the board for it.
